No hard feelings, you were correct in saying that I didnt need to lock your other forum.

You know that's exactly what im thinking. Im hoping they didnt spontaneously remove it though. Here's the topic where Delphi confirmed it: http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=906&highlight=venator

Okay if they took that ship out of the game, after posting it on their official website I am extremely upset.

Yeah I think 2 months may be a little too much time. I think that the rule should be you can create a new topic if the old topic is reasonably out of date, the discussion was over, and/or your topic is reasonably different from the original.

This is because Lucasfiles will be hosting the demo, as you can see from EaW.net. But we are still waiting for the demo like everyone else, that page is just a place holder as of now. Yes The Relentless demos are usually downloaded for free from the official website, or in the case a website willing to host the demo.

Okay, it does appear as this topic has been off topic and unrelated to what you were going to discuss. Sorry for the confusion, im still adjusting to moderating here so im sorry for the locking. I'll go ahead and split this into its own topic so you dont have to deal with the cluttering of this thread.

Or the learn to play link could be a link to download the demo, which may include a learn to play scenario.

Should we update the rules to reflect the 2 month rule? We should leave this thread here for maybe 5 days or so, so everyone can get their feedback in for this idea.

Omega, I see what you mean about looking past page 1 for past topics. We are currently devising what the time should be for when you can create a repeat topic. It is a tricky thing to decide because we dont want the reviving of old topics or the spamming of making new ones, so we must decide what the fine line should be. Now we need to get back on-topic!

Hehe being an artist isnt in the job description. I did my best!

I don't like dividing the forum up between moderators. I think the way it is now is best, because if you divide up forums and a certain moderator isnt online, than users can get away with breaking the rules and other mods wont be able to take action if necessary. The way it is now seems to work just fine.

Were going to drop this off-topic discussion. It is the responsibility of anyone creating topics to know whether or not they are already around. Any further discussion of this and this thread will be locked.

There is still plenty of time for the demo to be released. Dont get your hopes down. Besides it about a month and a half until the total release! Rejoice!

I think we need to add something to the rules informing people of the search function and a warning not to create repeat topics. This has happened at least three times just today. Also how long of a period should there be before someone can create a topic about an already existing topic?

It is best to just bring up your specific examples in an older topic. Creating multiple topics over the same subject can clutter the forum with spam. If you do have specific examples just add to the conversation of an older thread. That's the end of that.

It is vulnerable to a small fighter, but we still don't know if a capital ship gets close whether or not the Death Star can attack and be attacked with Turbolasers conventionally. I can already tell you the chances of this happening are .01%. The Death Star was probably designed to be similar to a planet and theirfore other capital ships cannot interact with it directly.

I would personally use the corvette as filler for a fleet. Possibly use it as Anti-Star fighter and use them to draw fire while my heavier ships attack.

Do you have the latest version of Macromedia flash player? You can download for free here: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash It's required to view the EaW site.

Mandalor219 and ralphman first go here: www.empireatwar.com and then try pressing the refresh button on your browser. The updates are mostly in the planets section, fleet, and troops I believe.

Thanks for the welcome Ismael! Im looking foward to helping out around here.

Although the game speed seems very fast in their previews I dont think it's that bad. As soon as you actually play the game with the User Interface and all that jazz I think it will begin to feel like an RTS. It will always seem different when we see if from a movie point of view. Dont forget the graphics will look bad on the website because the quality is down graded for dial up users.

I think we should split this thread right to where Cain mentioned me and Nevets are mods and then re-post that part to General Discussion and lock it there, so people know we are mods. Im gonna do that, but I wont include this argument part.

Woops... I should know that... lol Ill move it right away

The official EaW site was updated once more today, with new videos and info. Here's a link: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swempireatwar/indexFlash.html#Home

Should we move this thread to the Maw, since we are discussing internal affairs here?
